.. tools & data; view/rank/compare/analyze conditions & trends .. ready-to-use GIS project/datasets .. a component of your data analytics center of excellence ...relating your data to demographic-economic characteristics and trends involves more than information provided by a report or set of statistical tables. It is important to use your data to be able to identify areas of missed opportunity and competitive position. It is important to have a "10,000 foot" view as well as understanding individual neighborhoods and market/service areas. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, with the right set of geographic, demographic and economic data can facilitate decision-making through the use of visual and tabular data analytics. This section provides information on installing and using the Houston Metro Demographic-Economic GIS software and project/datasets. This same scope of data, tools and operation is available for any metro, state or combination. Examine extended geographic, demographic, economic characteristics for the metro using the related Houston metro Situation & Outlook report -- available for all metros. Metro GIS Projects -- selected metros Houston Minneapolis-St. Paul Sacramento 1. Houston Metro in Context of State/Region Patterns of percent population change 2010-2016 by county (see more) using the U.S. by county layer. The Houston metro (see pointer) is shown in context of state/region. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. .. illustrates use of the "us1_metros_houston1.gis" GIS project. Demographic Projections to 2060 Population and components of change data for the period 2010-2016 are included in the U.S. by county shapefile and part of the GIS project. Use the ProximityOne county level annual projections to 2060 to examine demographic characteristics and change into the future. The County 2060 projections are available by age single year of age by gender by race/origin by origin. 2. Patterns of Median Household Income by Neighborhood The following graphic shows patterns of median household income by census tract for the Houston metro area. This is the start-up view when using the GIS tools and data described below. The color patterns/intervals are shown in the highlighted layer in legend at left of map window. Use the GIS tools described below to develop thematic pattern maps for a range of data and criteria. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. .. illustrates use of the "us1_metros_houston.gis" GIS project. See more about census tracts; see tracts main page. Several additional views follow, developed using this same GIS project. These views illustrate different levels of geographic granularity and patterns of different subject matter. 3. Median Housing Value by Block Group See more about block groups; see block groups main page. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. 4. Population/Housing Unit by Block See more about census blocks; see census block main page. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. 5. Zoom-in to Sugarland/Fort Bend County See more about cities/places; see cities/places main page. Access data for any city using interactive table. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. 6. Further Zoom-in Showing Street/Road Detail See more about streets. .. view developed using the CVGIS software. Add Your Own Locations Data This view shows locations of selected Starbucks stores in the Houston/Harris County area. It is easy to see which locations are located in areas of higher/lower economic prosperity. The underlying layer shows patterns of median housing value by block group -- use your own selected subject matter and geography. Use any address or location data to create and add your own address/point shapefile. See that the "locations2" point shapefile appears at the top of the legend panel at left of map window. The identify tool is used to click on a store location (see pointer) and show a mini-profile. Use as many attributes as you like for your locations data. See more about creating location shapefiles (CLS). The CLS process enables you to automatically assign a census block code to each location/point. 7. Locations in Context of Small Area Demographic Patterns .. view developed using the CVGIS software. Installing the GIS Software and Project/Datasets (requires Windows computer with Internet connection) 1. Install the ProximityOne CV XE GIS ... run the CV XE GIS installer ... requires UserID; take all defaults during installation 2. Download the Houston Metro GIS project fileset ... requires UserID; unzip Houston Metro GIS project files to local new folder c:\p1data 3. Open the c:\p1data\us1_metros_houston.gis project ... after completing the above steps, click File>Open>Dialog ... open the file named c:\p1data\us1_metros_houston.gis ... optionally use project file named c:\p1data\us1_metros_houston1.gis 4. Done. The start-up view is shown above. GIS Project Layers Layer 1 -- LayerName: States - LayerFileName: cb_2016_us_state_500k.shp
